Bang or Bucks: Amanda Knox

[BLeonard]

Sarcasm "A" vote.

Nude is the only way I want to see Solo.

Sure... "Sarcasm" when you don't win, but "Value" when you do... 13 other people bid as well... I'd love to know who had the other bids, to see who's playing the BS game.

As for Solo, wait a month or so: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/socce...-magazine.html

It’s a moment many sudden soccer enthusiasts have been looking forward to since hopping on the Solo bandwagon last month.

Now, I just need to see the pics and convince Bedard to let me put a new pic on the card, if any of them don't violate TOS and are better than the current pic.

Don't judge TacklingDummy!

Just pointing out the hypocrisy... Check the Aguilera thread... He calls her a pig, but, when he realizes he won her, it's a "steal." Can't have it both ways...

Obviously, "hotness" is subjective, but it shouldn't be based on if you win the card or not.

-Bill

[Mr. Miyagi]

You have the ugliest stable of horses so far.

I have to agree. Hope Solo is nowhere near good looking. She's just hot because of her attitude. The other ones aren't that good looking either.

[TacklingDummy]

She's still a pig. Only thing in her favor is that she could lose weight and be hot again.

Your stable of dogs could all lose weight and they still be dogs.

It's ok to have a couple of Level C chicks in your stable as long as you have some Level A/B chicks to go along with it. Problem is your only C maybe B chick is Chung.

I rated Knox "A" and Hough "B". Do you really think I believe Knox is hotter than Hough?

$12,690 Bid

I had the 2,003 bid.

Let's look at a segment of your "rankings" a couple weeks ago, then...

35. 07/22/11 - Jamie Chung - 41,500 BLeonard
34. 06/20/11 - Kate Mara - $25,000 DraftBoy
33. 08/10/2011 - Lauren Graham - 35,009 jamze132
32. 06/24/11 - Laura Prepon - 45,000 Forward Lateral
31. 06/14/11 - Hether Graham - $14,345 Mr. Miyagi
30. 06/22/11 - Christina Applegate - 25,069 Stewie

So, since Lateral sold Prepon to me, that now makes her less hot than Chung?

I don't personally agree with your "rankings" from a couple weeks ago, but, seems like now, you don't even agree with your own rankings. Here's another gem from the same thread:

He is ranked 4th overall having Hope Solo and Jamie Chung as cards. Out of the 65 women who have been auctioned off so far those 2 probably are not in the top 45.

Yet, less than an hour later, you rank Chung 35th overall... So, she's 35th overall, but not in the top 45... If you say so.

I'm not proclaiming that Hope Solo or Amanda Knox are the hottest by any means. They're depth and both were purchased very cheaply.

Dunno what you have against Laura Prepon, especially since you had her rated higher than Jamie Chung... I don't think who owns the card should dictate her value, but whatever.

As for Chung, as I said before, she is on the Hot 100... Kristen Bell and Jill Wagner aren't... So, at least according to someone, Jamie Chung is hotter than both of them... Using that logic, if you're grading Chung a "B or C," where would that put Bell and Wagner?

Finally, yet again, I will point out an overbid...

Wagner - Overbid by $15,111 Card Price: $43,861

So, the highest bidder (except you) would have paid $28,750 for Wagner... That's only $250 more than I paid for Hope Solo.

That proves that hotness is subjective... Just because you think a woman is an "A" doesn't make her an "A" in everyone's eyes.

-Bill

[BLeonard]

I rated Knox "A" and Hough "B". Do you really think I believe Knox is hotter than Hough?

$12,690 Bid

Dunno... Just showed you how your "rankings" are alresdy suspect... Didn't think who owned the card had anything to do with how hot a girl is...

OK, so you bid $12,690... Someone out there bid $20,500.

IMO this is the perfect version of a girls stock going up. Buy low sell high.

I've known about it for a while... Just wanted to see if anyone else noticed.

Again, once the ESPN "Body Issue" comes out and I get a look at the pics... If any of them are card-worthy, you can bet I'll be hitting you up for a pic change... I'd probably be willing to pay some ZB to get it done as well...

Hell, to be honest, if I knew the size and font of the numbers and letters used on the girl's name, price and the card numbering in the upper right corner, I could probably remake the card myself... I was playing with a Laura Prepon redhead pic the other day... Thought it came out pretty good:

-Bill

[TacklingDummy]

Dude, you have way too much BorB time on your hands.

[BLeonard]

Either that, or I just have a good chunk of experience in cutting and resizing pictures... Took me maybe 5 minutes to do.

Not talking the picture, talking about everything combined.

[BLeonard]

Time doesn't really have much to do with it... Being a stats nut and having a fair amount of debate experience are likely bigger factors than time.

-Bill

[YardRat]

You ranked her an "A"... On top of that, it's the cheapest non-flash auction card in the game, not counting the beta period.

Also, it's not like I outbid everyone by tens of thousands, like you have in every auction you've won... Look at the winning margins here:

TD:
Wagner - Won by $15,111
Aguilera - Won by $11,650
Bell - Won by $19,490
Total overbid: $46,291

BL:
Chung - Won by $1375
Solo - Won by $3531
Knox - Won by $500
Total overbid: $5406

So, you've spent $40,885 more than me just in overbids... That's a significant amount of waste... Could have had 2 Knox-type cards just with the cash you overbid with.

I didn't even count Rosie, who TLBF pulled your ass out of the fire with, but I'm betting you significantly overbid on her as well. You might not get a deal the next time you try to pawn off a high dollar card.

On top of that, Amanda will keep my other *****es in line, should they act up...

-Bill

I've got you by 47 bucks... $5,359.

BTW...if there ever comes a time where a pic can be changed, I'd like to swap out January's.

Heh, now all's you gotta do is get a 4th card, without overbidding by that much...

Initially, I wanted to include a "wasted cap space" sort of figure into the power ranking formula... Problem was, the Free Agent auctions are so out of wack, it wouldn't translate correctly.

I'd also like a feasible way to change pics, but I see Bedard's side of it too... It'd be a big pain in the ass if someone wanted a pic changed every other week.

Like I said, if I knew the size and font used on the letters and numbers used on the cards, I could probably change the pics myself. The Prepon one I did was just a quick cut and paste job, using the original card's lettering and numbers.

-Bill

[Night Train]

She's hot because she's plain looking and may have been involved in a murder ?

Utterly brilliant.

[YardRat]

Heh, now all's you gotta do is get a 4th card, without overbidding by that much...

You only counted three to begin with.

I win

[BLeonard]

You only counted three to begin with.

I win

Because I bought Prepon at face value... I didn't have to outbid anyone, nor did I pay more than face value.

I suppose, technically, you could look up how much FL outbid the second place bidder by... But I didn't bid on Prepon (didn't have the cash at that time). So, it's not really fair to count his outbidding on my side, because I didn't have any "dead cap money."

But, nice try.
